POWERLESS

Tourists try to rush to safety before the tsunami hit the Hat Rai Lay Beach in Thailand. The water had receded before the deadly wave struck. These people are surely lost.From the New York Times.

This is the only photo that I have seen of 'it' coming. We have a video loop taken from a tall building and it is hard to gauge the height of the wave but not the force of it. You can see the devastation from the first and as the wave recedes it is filled with debris and bodies.

Truly an unimaginable catastrophe.

Finally, too, the lame and late delegation from the US will 'tour' the area; a last errand for Powell.
